Lie about copyright policy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recline

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lie' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'about copyright policy' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'copyright' becomes 'c' (this could be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'policy' becomes 'line' (I've seen this before).
're'+'c'+'line'='RECLINE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recline that I've seen before include "Lean back, relax" , "Assume horizontal or leaning position as for rest" , "Lie back to rest" , "Be recumbent" , "Adopt horizontal or leaning position" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
